For patients with advanced Alzheimer’s and other serious illnesses, more drugs and more treatments isn’t always the answer. Our Community Hospice doctors review all the prescriptions our new patients have been taking…and often find some patients feel better with fewer drugs. http://bit.ly/DementiaDrugs

Investigators are recommending that Medicare officials take immediate action to reduce unnecessary prescriptions to older Americans with dementia.

Jp DavySo not true for the hospice in our area. We are very lucky to have a doctor, pa, and several nurses in our family as well as my sisters and I who knew our mom and her meds. When she was put into hospice the first thing they did was try to change her meds. Didn't go over well with me, I went online checked the meds and then called my cousin who is a pa, his first question, why are they trying to give her these antipsychotic meds I said that's what I want to know. We refused to put her on them and we were upset the hospice doctor tried to do this. Every patient needs loving family who ask questions and are strong advocates. Never just assume a drug is right for you loved one and always ask questions. Always listen to your gut and never assume a doctor who has never met your loved one knows how to treat them medically. Our hospice experience was not the greatest can't say if we would ever want to use them ever again.17 hours, 30 minutes ago

Round Lake AirportHow can they just now realize this. People have been complaining about patients being over medicated for years. When you walk on a ward, they are strapped down in their wheel chairs, slumped to the side with their hands on the floor. Most times they are drooling all over them self. If family has known this for years, why is the medical community just realizing it? It really doesn't say much for our Dr's. Maybe they are being manipulated by the drug companies or the care givers who want their jobs to be easier. Robin@6 hours, 48 minutes ago
